Windows 8 is shit

It's probably the only thing my husband and I disagree on, he loves his windows 8 and I HATE it! I'm like how the heck do I use the calculator, and he's all like "...Alt shift control f5 b 2 tab..." or some crap. I just want to click the dang icon.

What a stinking pile of dog shit this operating system is. The Metro interface is all cloud based which totally eliminates any sense of privacy and security for the end user. On top of that, the desktop is now cut down and has the start button castrated. Finding one's way around is now guesswork since the OS offers no visual clues as to what the fuck is going on. The file manager now incorporates that totally fucked up ribbon bar - the one that everyone hates. It's inclusion was made to piss everyone off no doubt.

This operating system was designed by fuckheads - for fuckheads.

MicroSHIT is well and truly finished now that this putrid garbage has appeared since no sane person would want to run such an obnoxious and intrusive pile of shit.

Google can just sit back and watch as the MictoTitanic sinks rapidly into the abyss.

I run a particular piece of software which is critical to my business and which last I checked was only Windows compatible. Otherwise I'd have switched to Apple years ago. I think I'll check and see if they have an Apple compatible version now.

Windows 8 is dog shit. I received a free copy from school and tossed the damned thing out the window. You can use that metrosexual bullshit operating system if you want I'll be using Windows 7. Windows 9 will be make in India. Probably have Kali as the mascot. When that happens I'm cutting the cord. Here's why. You made your fortune on the backs of Americans and to take your jobs elsewhere is a slap in the face. Extort China you rat bastards! We are almost done with you.

Darlin, it's just gonna take time to get used to. Especially when it's been the same for a while. It SEEMS overly complicated is my point, not that it actually is, only because it's different. Take a chill pill, it's called humor.

You can do the same thing in wondows7. Click the start button, type "calc" in the box, and viola, the calculator pops up on the screen. That's sooo simple. Now I just got to figure out how the calculator works.

Luckily there is a solution. Download Start 8. It's $5 and adds a start button. It will boot windows straight to desktop and you basically never have to use metro again.

With Start 8 Windows 8 is basically a faster version of Windows 7.

It's ridiculous that a 3rd party had to make a start button though. Microsoft doesn't get the message that people want an OS based around their desktop. They don't want an OS for a tablet for their desktop. They really dropped the ball on this one. Consumers don't want this Metro and cloud bullshit.

I hope another viable OS for gaming arrives soon. I'm tired of Windows. I know Linux is stepping up it's game but it needs to support all games for me to make the switch.

Ayatollah Khomeini:“Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

Yup, that's exactly what I said earlier !

And about the gaming issue...don't hold your breath ! Almost all modern games for PC today are entirely dependent on DirectX, which is MS technology, so you won't see Linux supporting too many games soon !

You ignorant change-fearing retards crack me up. There is no mandatory cloud on Win 8. Apps, including metro apps run local, just like traditional apps. Ooh, but metro apps are installed FROM the Microft Store! Well fuck you! ALL android apps AND Mac iPxx apps are installed from therrh respective stores even your Linux Mint app manager downloads packages from the cloud and you faggots arent bitching! And you can still install traditionalwinows apps too that arent sourced from the cloud.The Metro interface does not run from the cloud, it runs from the PC. Why dont you ignorant fucks get a clue about what your talking about before flapping your herpes gums.Microsost motivation behind metro on win8 is unified end user experience between Windows Phone, Windows Pc and Xbox 360. Once you really figure out the new interface, its fucking faster to get what you need.

the solution to making windows 8 stop sucking is to install a new skin.

Couldn't agree more mate. I "upgraded a Win7 64 bit to Win8 and had a totally useless machine as result. Worst still, its not possible to get the wreteched OS off my machine and revert to Win7 without obliterating drive C and losing all of my programmes & data!I cant se what MS are up to with Win8. Why try to copy Apple or Android? These do a different job for different end users. Microsoft was the professional OS for business uers with Apple OSX for arty farty types and Andriod for geeks. Win8 seems to be aiming at those who arent professionals, aren't arty farty creatives, and arent geeks -thats right; who? Lost the plot IMHO

Xp lasted ages for me and 7 ain't that bad. Guess I will be with 7 for the next 10 years. Fuck the cloud. And don't forget to run peer block to make sure there aren't any unwanted out going connections phoning home.

Agree.I am also on XP Pro on one machine and 7 on another.I am not getting Windows 8 for the life of me.

personally I love it. For the first time we have a stripped down version of windows with as little bloat ware as possible. My machine is running a ton faster and I actually like the new start screen and for those looking for the calculator just bind the icon to the start screen. I have everything useful there, no more searching the start menus under cryptic company names
